SUMMARY:Advance Care Planning at the Margins: An Interactive\, Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The provision of whole-person care requires us to recognize the multidimensional impact that living with a serious illness has on each aspect of a patient’s quality of life. \nConducting a comprehensive biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment lays the groundwork for the sensitive exploration of how serious illness and its treatment influence medical decision-making\, especially for those who have been historically\, politically\, and socially marginalized\, as well as those with limited cognitive capacity. \nSocial workers have the clinical background to provide nuanced advance care planning conversations and may be well positioned to offer leadership in expanding advance care planning programs within their organizations. \nThis interactive workshop will explore strategies to support proxy decision-makers for those who are the most vulnerable. Advance care planning tools and resources will be provided. 2.5 Continuing Education hours provided!

SUMMARY:Lecture: “Bringing ‘Tikkun Olam’ to the South: New York Jews in the Civil Rights Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Miyuki Kita\, professor of American studies at the University of Kitakyushu\, Japan\, will examine an unknown\, unacknowledged episode of the commitment of New York Jews to the Civil Rights Movement and its impact outside of New York City. During the summer of 1963\, 16 Queens College students—14 of whom were Jewish—traveled as far as the Prince Edward County\, Virginia\, to tutor local African American children who had not received any formal education since the shutdown of the county’s public schools to avoid the state’s integration order in 1959. These “Freedom Schools” eventually became an important model for Mississippi Freedom Schools in the following year. Additionally\, as a backdrop to the students’ visit to Virginia\, more than 200 students started to serve as tutors and recreational leaders for underprivileged children in South Jamaica\, Queens\, every Saturday in April 1963. In such circumstances emerged Andrew Goodman\, a Queens College student at the time of his death in Mississippi and gave his life to the civil rights movement. \nMiyuki Kita’s studies have focused on antisemitism in the U.S.\, Black-Jewish relations\, and Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar affiliated with the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University from 2012-2013. She also served as a visiting scholar at Queens College\, City University of New York in 2018-2019. Her works include “Breaking the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’: Jews and the 1945 New York Fair Employment Practices Act\,” in Fruma Mohrer and Ettie Goldwasser eds.\, New York and the American Jewish Communal Experience (New York: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research\, 2013) and “Foot Soldier in the Civil Rights Movement: Lynn Goldsmith with SCLC–SCOPE\, Summer 1965\,” Southern JewishHistory\, vol.22\, 2019\, pp.151-188.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Ernesto (Trey) Feliciano\, Physics Major\, FCRH 2026 will present: “Mucin and Polyvinylpyrrolidone Solutions Affect E. coli Motility” \nAbstract: Knowledge about how bacteria move through viscoelastic media can be helpful in\nunderstanding how they move through medical solutions using such media or move\nthrough mucus to infect humans. \nPrevious research has been conducted on how they collectively move through synthetic\nmucus\, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solutions\, and media mimicked by carboxylate\nmicrospheres. Research about the individual cell movements in synthetic mucous has\nnot yet been intensively observed. The kinematics of the individual cells of a certain\nmotile strain of E. coli through various concentrations of viscoelastic media\, including\nartificial mucus and PVP solutions\, were observed in this project.\nResults showed that certain concentrations of mucin in mucus aid bacterial motility\,\nwhereas high concentrations of mucin inhibit it. For PVP\, velocity remains relatively\nconstant until it decreases at higher concentrations. By understanding how\nconcentrations of viscoelastic fluids affect bacterial motion\, knowledge about why the\nhuman body secretes more mucous along the respiratory tract during infections or\nabout what qualities of viscoelastic medical solutions are ideal for usage can be\nenhanced. \nJenna Cain\, Engineering Physics Major\, FCRH 2026 will present: “Optimizing Geometric Fill Factor and Interconnection Between Thermophotovoltaic(TPV) Cells on a Tile”. \nAbstract: Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells convert high-temperature thermal radiation (1\,000–\n2\,000 °C) from an emitter directly into electricity\, resulting in power densities up to 500 times\ngreater than a conventional solar cell. Advancements in TPVs at the University of Michigan over\nthe past decade have led to the development of the Air-Bridge TPV\, which has a world-record\nefficiency of 44%\, and is being scaled up for implementation in thermal batteries. To scale up\nsingle cells into functional panels\, many cells must be interconnected into one electrical system\non a tile (4″ growth substrate). Here\, I developed an interconnection process for TPV cells that\nminimizes the spacing between cells to maximize the amount of active area\, or the geometric fill\nfactor\, for a tile. In our approach\, we use simple resistor-mesas to replicate the width and height\nof the target TPV cells and aim to interconnect the top contact and bottom contact on adjacent\nmesas (3 μm step height). We use a polyimide passivation film that serves as an insulating barrier\nbetween the active regions of the devices and the conductive interconnects. In this work\, I\ndemonstrate that a 1 μm polyimide film provides sufficient sidewall coverage to enable\ninterconnections between mesas separated by as little as 45 μm. Optimal curing temperature of\n350°C and time of 1 hour was determined by monitoring the diminishing anhydride group of\npolyimide precursor via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Successful interconnection was\ndemonstrated by patterning 1 μm silver interconnections between resistors and measuring the\ncumulative resistance for each string of interconnected resistors. For all mesa spacings – 45 μm\nto 500 μm – successful interconnection was demonstrated. Future work will explore\ninterconnection across shorter distances to continue optimizing geometric fill factor.

SUMMARY:The Role of Psychologists in Immigration Court: Ethical\, Legal\, and Practical Challenges
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will cover a range of issues that arise when mental health professionals conduct evaluations for Immigration Court. The nature and focus of forensic mental health evaluations in the context of Immigration Court proceedings will be discussed in order to set a framework for understanding the roles that psychologist (and other mental health professionals) can—and often do play. In addition\, the relationship (and distinctions) between forensic and clinical psychology plays an important role in navigating these challenging legal issues\, along with pragmatic considerations (e.g.\, navigating cultural and linguistic challenges) that can complicate these evaluations. Finally\, this presentation will address training needs\, systemic barriers to practice\, and a wide range of ethical issues that arise and require attention.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Concentration Camp Brothels
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch of Robert Sommer’s new book\, The Concentration Camp Brothels\, published by Fordham University Press. In this seminal work\, Robert Sommer reveals the hidden hor­rors of sexual forced labor within the SS camp system\, a subject long overshadowed and seldom acknowledged in the discourse on the Holocaust. \nThrough his rigorous examination of over 70 archives and poignant interviews with more than 30 survivors\, including former visitors of camp brothels\, Sommer paints a vivid and harrow­ing picture of the atrocities committed. This book is the first to offer a comprehensive exploration of the establishment\, operation\, and profound impact of brothels in Nazi concentration camps. \nRobert Sommer is a distinguished historian specializing in the intersections of violence\, sexuality\, and human rights\, with a focus on the Holocaust. He teaches at the University of Cooperative Education\, Berlin\, Germany. Sommer has served as a historical consultant for museums and film productions\, including the BBC documentary Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution (2005).

SUMMARY:2025 St. Ignatius Loyola Chair Lecture
DESCRIPTION:William Rehg\, S.J.\, has joined Fordham as the St. Ignatius Loyola Chair in the philosophy department for the 2025-2026 academic year. He is the author of Insight and Solidarity: The Discourse Ethics of Jürgen Habermas (1994) and Cogent Science in Context: The Science Wars\, Argumentation Theory\, and Habermas (2009). More recently\, he has written on applied ethics and the role of hope in Habermas’s philosophy of religion\, and he has been a member of the Consortium for Human Flourishing since 2018. \nAbout the lecture (with a reception to follow):\nHope is becoming increasingly important in today’s world. With his 2019 history of the millennia-long dialogue between faith and reason\, German philosopher-sociologist Jürgen Habermas aims to encourage the hope that a more just and peaceful world is possible through further dialogue. William Rehg\, S.J.\, will argue that Habermas’s vision describes a task for which Jesuit universities are especially well suited. But Habermas overlooks the ways in which climate change makes such dialogue increasingly unlikely. Is not a pessimistic outlook more realistic? That question challenges us to think more deeply about what hope in today’s world means. \nAlthough an RSVP is not required for the lecture and reception\, please direct all questions to Stephanie Adomavicius\, director of communications and events for Arts and Sciences (sadomavicius@fordham.edu).

SUMMARY:Denzel Washington Chair in Theatre Lecture: “Art as Righteous Indignation"
DESCRIPTION:Meet playwright Dominique Morisseau\, Fordham’s new Denzel Washington Chair in Theatre\, at her talk titled “Art as Righteous Indignation.” \nMorisseau’s talk will touch upon her personal experiences as an artist. In her words: “I once had to admit to a mentor that I wasn’t the charming\, obedient\, teacher’s pet that she may have thought I was in college. I had a lot of anger towards my department and professors and spoke my mind in unpopular ways. What this mentor said in response to my fear of disappointing her was life-changing for me\, and made me the unapologetic artist that I’ve become ever since. Whether individual or collective\, outrage can give way to some powerful creative expression. How do we transcend the madness around us? Let’s have some real talk about it!” \n— \nDOMINIQUE MORISSEAU is the author of The Detroit Project\, a three-play cycle that includes Skeleton Crew (Atlantic Theater Company/Broadway\, Tony Award nominee for Best Play)\, Paradise Blue (Signature Theatre)\, and Detroit ’67 (Public Theater\, Classical Theatre of Harlem and NBT). Additional plays include: Confederates (Signature Theatre)\, Pipeline (Lincoln Center Theatre)\, Sunset Baby (LAByrinth Theatre)\, Blood at the Root (National Black Theatre)\, and Follow Me To Nellie’s (Premiere Stages). She is the Tony Award–nominated book writer on the Broadway musical Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations (Imperial Theatre) and is currently working on her latest\, Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical (ACT). Her TV/Film credits include: co-producer on Shameless (Showtime)\, the film adaptation of the documentary STEP (Fox Searchlight)\, and consultant on the Netflix animated feature\, Tunga. She is the recipient of a PoNY Fellowship\, a Ford Foundation Art of Change Fellowship\, Variety’s Women of Impact for 2018\, and a MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient. Her awards include the TEER Trailblazer Award\, the Steinberg Playwright Award\, Audelco Awards\, the NBTF August Wilson Playwriting Award\, the Wyndham Campbell Prize\, the Edward M.

SUMMARY:The Faith of Others: The Inspiration of Interreligious Dialogue in Light of Nostra Aetate
DESCRIPTION:This October marks 60 years since the Second Vatican Council adopted the historic Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions\, called Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate is best known for revisiting and reforming the long history of Catholic misrepresentation and mistreatment of Jews and provided a baseline for Catholic interreligious engagement in the contemporary world. \nHaving grown up in a home in which ecumenical discussions were vital\, Susannah Heschel\, Ph.D.\, Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and chair of the Jewish Studies Program\, will recount personal memories of her father\, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel\, and of the many Christian theologians and clergy who came to their home. Taking up the theological as well as the historical trajectory that led to Nostra Aetate\, she will give particular attention to the relationship between Rabbi Heschel and Augustin Cardinal Bea\, charting the new theological directions they represented regarding divine inspiration and prophecy. She will conclude with reflections on the extent to which interfaith encounters can also become moments of prayer. \nResponding to Professor Heschel will be Heather Miller Rubens\, Executive Director of the Institute for Islamic\, Christian\, and Jewish Studies in Baltimore\, who will look from this history into the present and future—reflecting on the powers and limits of Nostra Aetate in our own time\, as well as on its significance beyond the Catholic-Jewish relationship. \nReception to follow in Platt Court \nThe 2025 Paul Wattson Lecture at Fordham University is co-sponsored and co-organized by the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement\, Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute\, and\, at Fordham: the departments of theology and Jewish studies\, the Center on Religion and Culture\, the Francis and Ann Curran Center for Catholic Studies\, Campus Ministry\, and the Institute on Religion\, Law and Lawyer’s Work.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Zeke Mohammed\, FCRH 2026\, Engineering Physics Major\, will present “Meson Mass Calculations in Lattice QCD Using SU(2) Gauge Theory”. \nAbstract: Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) describes the strong nuclear force but\nbecomes strongly coupled at low energies where perturbative methods fail. Lattice QCD\nresolves this by discretizing spacetime into a finite grid\, transforming the quantum field\ntheory into a computationally tractable problem. This work implements SU(2) gauge\ntheory—a simplified two-color version of QCD that preserves essential non-perturbative\nphenomena like confinement and asymptotic freedom—to calculate light meson masses\nincluding the pion\, rho\, and sigma. \nWe employ Monte Carlo methods with the Wilson gauge action to generate thermalized\ngauge field configurations and solve the discretized Dirac equation for quark\npropagators. Meson masses are extracted from the exponential decay of correlation\nfunctions\, with statistical uncertainties determined through jackknife analysis.\nCalculations span multiple lattice volumes (44 to 83×16) and quark mass parameters to\nsystematically study mass hierarchies and chiral symmetry breaking. Our results\nsuccessfully reproduce expected mass ordering (mπ < mρ) and demonstrate how\nconfinement emerges from gauge dynamics to bind quarks into hadrons\, providing\nquantitative insights into non-perturbative QCD phenomena. \nMatthew Smith\, FCRH 2027\, Physics Major\, will present: “Pion Masses and Taste Splitting at Coarse Lattice Spacings”. \nAbstract: On the lattice taste splitting of pions should be degenerate at O(a2). It is shown\,\nhowever\, that corrections of order O(a4 ) are required to describe the observed masses.\nThis project attempted to extract the masses of the pions on a coarse lattice by\nuncorrelated\, correlated\, and blocked-correlated fits to evaluate discrepancies of the\ntheory. Data from 5001 configurations and a lattice temporal dimension of 48 was used.\nWhile the pseudo-scalar pion’s mass was able to be extracted\, the vector\, scalar\, axial\nvector\, and tensor tastes had significant errors. It is shown that these coarse lattices\nintroduced large errors as well as oscillatory “opposite-parity” contributions to the\ncorrelators\, complicating mass extractions. Newer lattice simulations\, however\, show\npromising results for the non-goldstone pions while still having some complications from\nlarge lattice spacings.
